The Adventures of Solaire, Part VI: The Clockwork Temple III

By Noah Hoffmann

An ongoing series of fantasy adventures, “The Adventures of Solaire” tells the story of the dread pirate Captain Solaire Ravenheart and his tales all across Lorian, from the the steam-powered world of Dinas to the magical superpower of Archone. What follows is every deed of sabotage, back-stabbing, intimidation, piracy, demon-summoning, automaton-killing, government-toppling, crew wrangling, and general defiance he committed in his quest for his ultimate goal: to save his sister River.

In the conclusion to the Clockwork Temple, Solaire and his allies face one final task: remove the gauntlet and return back to the ship. But like everything inside the Clockwork Temple, it’s not quite as easy as it seems...

A mild-mannered truck driver by day, I spend my nights writing mostly at an attempt to convince the last few shreds of sanity I have not to jump ship with the rest. When I'm not doing that, you can usually find me playing tabletop rpgs, raiding the "50 cents" section of bookstores, and generally committing similar acts to solidify my reputation as a "huge nerd." Otherwise, my time is spent caring for my loving and intelligent-deficit dog Slade and yelling at you for cutting me off in traffic.

If you’ll permit me one more quick diversion before the exciting finale to this section of the adventure, I’d like to give you some reference for what is about to happen. A standard pendulum-driven clock, much like the one you would have in your home, has two main sections to it: the going train, and the motion work. The motion work has three major sections to it, each of which requires a minimum of two pieces to work. The going train has five, wound around each other. Add in the pendulum itself, the two weights that drive the pendulum, the mechanism that connects the pendulum to the going
